The singer said this week that while everyone was happy families at the moment, it could easily change later on as the competition heats up.

Favourite to win Pixie said: “Me and the other Strictly celeb girls have set up our own WhatsApp chat group and we send each other selfies of us in training, as well as just having a gossip.

“It’s been really nice."

She went on: “I’ve become good mates with Alison Hammond – she’s hilarious, I love her! We’ve been texting each other. I can’t wait to see her when we’re back in the studio.

“I knew Frankie Bridge before, so it’s nice to be able to hang out with her, too."

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Pixie - who is partnered with new Aussie Strictly pro dancer Trent Whiddon - added: “At the moment all the girls are really supportive of each other – that could change later on.”

Strictly Come Dancing 2014 kicks off on BBC One next Friday with the first live show of the series.
